Hard to believe its been a week since I posted! Time is flying by too fast. Thursday will be February 1st... I don't know what happened to January!
Today was the final run for week 6. I ran 25 minutes :) Not bad, if I do say so myself. From here on out there will be no walking during my runs. This coming week will all be 25 minutes. I think I can handle it. The worst part is not getting bored. I can see why runners prefer the outdoors! Not that I will be running in this weather (unlike Dad :P). I have been using my iPod, but music can get boring too... I'm gonna have to find some good podcasts or something to keep my mind occupied.
I also rode today. It was a warm (considering) -4 degrees Celcius, with little wind. I saddled up the poor girl and went for a walk around the ring. Only attempted one jog circle, but the ground was awfully hard, and I didn't want to stress her legs. It would be nice if we had a soft cover of snow to ride on... then I could actually do something!
For my companion animal behaviour class we are doing a case study. My group is going to clicker train Thea and then teach her not to rest her hind feet for showmanship (showing the horse in hand). She has a bad habit of being lazy and resting her hind feet, so maybe the clicker training will help motivate her. I've used the clicker training a couple times before... with the first horse I leased, Sarah, and my cat Cody when he was a kitten (he knows how to stand on his hindlegs, spin, jump on something, and jump off of something on command LOL).
Not much else is going on here in Truro. Lots of studying and school work as usual, and our weekly Grey's Anatomy get-togethers. Hope everyone had a good week, and talk to you soon!

Thea is looking fuzzy. I hope she doesn't mind being clicked at too much. Have fun!
